The arrival of fall typically brings the realization that you have some holes to fill in your seasonal wardrobe. So we turned to 10 fashion experts for help tracking down the most versatile pieces that can be mixed and matched—all under $50. From a classic chunky loafer that comes in black, beige, and a divine shade of burgundy to a chic-yet-timeless tweed blazer, these finds are equal parts practical and aesthetically pleasing.

If it were up to personal stylist Bobbi Schwartz, she'd start building every fall capsule collection with a loose-fitting turtleneck sweater, like this $28 one from Amazon. "Worn with the collar flipped up, it creates a chic, high-neck look—one of this season's hottest trends," she asserts. And you can’t go wrong with a pair of pointed-toe ankle boots, especially in suede, which “adds a richness to your look that smooth leather just can't match,” Schwartz notes.

The must-have layering piece for 2024 is a sweater vest, and we’re in love with this black-and-cream-colored $49 version featuring gold buttons down the front. Lana Ashby Rowder, founder of personal styling service LookingGlass, also recommends adding this textured knit cardigan to your closet. "I love this one [from Amazon] because it gives the comfort of your favorite sweater while also looking elevated and polished enough to wear to the office," she explains.
